That there is power in His name
Ah, oh, I think you're ready now
Threw up my hands ready to quit
And I almost said, "This is it"
But I called Jesus and it all changed
'Cause there's power in His name
See the Lord brought me through it all
I called Jesus and it all changed
'Cause there's power in His name
So we call Jesus, Jesus
There's power in His name
Yes we call Jesus, Jesus
There's power in His name
Let me tell you one more time
So call Him, call His name
When you need to call Him, call His name
Ooh, call Him, somebody needs to call
So call Him, When you need healing, call Him
If you need salvation, call Him
Somebody needs to call Him
Say Jesus, Say Jesus
For more power, if you need to be delivered
Say Jesus, I love to call Him
